Rooster acting like a hen?

[Aae]

We have a rooster who I caught pacing around inside by the nesting boxes while I gave them fresh water, he then hopped in a nesting box and say down for a few moments, then hopped out and made the egg song.

Does he think he's a hen?

(We are very sure he is indeed a rooster)

Most roosters will enter the nest box, scratch, and call for the hens to come there and lay.

Sounds kind of like what my RIR cockerel has been doing for the past several days. He's almost 4 months old. He will follow me into the coop when I feed and clean. He makes kind of ooh ooh ooh and purring sounds, heads for an area with bedding material in it, lowers his chest to floor and sometimes scoots the materials with his beak. My first thought was that he was irritated with my invading his house. He is not aggressive towards me at all.
